4 months old

This is very late as we are now closer to 5 months than 4 months but here it is none the less... his 4 month post....

It thrills me to no end to do these monthly posts - I did them for cort until he was over a year and I just love that this blog now includes 4 monthly posts of Cohen.

Cohen changed a lot from 3 to 4 months - it sort of feels like he came out of his shell!
He started laughing this month ( around 3.5 months) and that's been a ton of fun. He's a little stingy with his laughs though. He smiles a tons and does so with his whole face. Sometimes his face looks like he's laughing but there's no laugh coming out!

He is quite the little talker. He coos and jabbers all day and when he really gets started he just gets louder and louder. Too cute.

He is a total wiggle worm. I mean, seriously, this boy does not stop moving. His little arms and legs are constantly flailing when he gets excited.

He is so expressive! He raises his eyebrows all the time at people and things - very funny.

He has started reaching for and grabbing objects more and more and he loves his hands. He is always playing with them and putting his fingers in his mouth. He'll suck on his pointer finger on occasion but not a ton. He does not take a paci - he doesn't care for them at all.


He still likes his kick toy and has started to enjoy his play gym more and more. We have this little panda bear hanging toy that he really likes. He always talks to him and gets really excited.

He still eats every three hours. This month we had an all time record with good eating though that stopped after about 2 weeks. He sleeps great - taking 1-2 hour naps in between each feeding and then sleeps from about 7-7 at night with dream feed at about 10:30 and one middle of the night waking. He slept from 10:30 - 6:30 one night. He still likes sleeping on his side at this point.

He still hates tummy time though he lifts his head a little bit now.

At 4 months, he weighed 9lbs 14 oz and was around 20.5 inches. Summer clothes are pretty easy - onesies and one piece shorts outfits fit him well. He wears preemie or newborn the best, though some preemie is too short for his torso. He has a handful of 0-3 that fit but most of those are too big.

I remember staring to really enjoy this stage with Cort and Cohen hasn't disappointed!!! Those smiles are certainly worth getting up for morning!!
